I remember considering to move there for a while 12 years ago, with cost of living being a major motivation. Now the rentals are almost on par pricewise with what you'd see in SF or NYC.
Absolutely not true. My friends moved there less than a year ago and got a huge townhouse with multiple bedrooms for $2000/month.
Tax revenue can be used to build affordable housing that is income or means tested and locked out from being acquired by capital (where rent would be raised to “market rate”). You can also issue bonds as a component of raising capital towards this outcome, debt which would be serviced and retired over time with tax revenue.
(Muni bonds typically have favorable tax treatment for investors vs corporate bonds)
I think we all know this additional revenue is not going to be used to build more apartment buildings.

AI software developers are similar to self driving cars. Both are great for increasing stock prices, but not much more than that.

At what point do they stand up and say “enough is enough, we’re being bullied into submission and betraying our own identity as journalists”?
My guess is never.
Absolutely. I’m very far to the left and I cringe when I hear something like “birthing person” or “micro aggression”.

Basically replicating the NRA playbook. Soon we’ll have congressmen ranked based on how “AI friendly” they are. Expect them to start associating AI with “Freedom”, just like guns.

See also the Fox confirmation [1]:
> Up to 1,700 National Guardsmen are set to mobilize in 19 states in the coming weeks to assist the Department of Homeland Security with President Donald Trump’s nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime, Pentagon officials confirmed to Fox News.
> Documents obtained by Fox News show planning for activations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming – with status effective from August through mid-November. Texas is projected to host the most significant Guard presence.
It should be noted this comes after the National Guard deployed to DC had been ordered to begin carrying lethal weapons in the nation's capital[2]:
> At the direction of the Secretary of Defense, JTF-DC members supporting the mission to lower the crime rate in our Nation’s capital will soon be on mission with their service-issued weapons, consistent with their mission and training

Wyoming and South Dakota? What are they expecting to find there, exactly?

Try living in a few different countries. The US healthcare system is amazing if you have good insurance - really freaking amazing.
This is verifiably false.
Weird. I got approved in like 2 days. And I’m not very good looking or successful. The app itself is mostly useless.
